Several parishioners of the Institute apostolate of St. Margaret Mary's (Oakland, CA) joined the great multitude of pro-life folks in San Francisco last Saturday (January 26, 2013) for the annual Walk for Life West Coast. Our Rector, Rev. Canon Olivier Meney (Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest), led in praying the rosary and singing hymns while walking along Market Street from Civic Center to Justin Herman Plaza after the main program concluded around 1:30pm. The sun was out, and the weather was neither too warm nor too cold which was perfect for the walk.

More pictures (opens a link to my new photo hosting album) can be viewed here. Shown below is a slideshow and a short 2-minute youtube video of the walk.

Continuing with some recent events at St. Margaret Mary's, on September 16, 2012 (16th Sunday after Pentecost), we were honored to welcome Monsignor R. Michael Schmitz, Vicar General of the Institute and Provincial General for the United States. It was on this occasion that Monsignor Schmitz made the announcement that Canon William Avis, who for the past 6 months or so, had been filling in for Canon Fragelli (Canon Fragelli had gotten quite sick and had to recuperate in Germany), will be moving to the St. Francis de Sales Oratory in St. Louis, MO. His successor at St. Margaret Mary's would be Canon Olivier Meney, who until recently was assigned to the Church of Saints Peter and Paul and St Philomena, at New Brighton, England.
